The policy is that english is the language that is spoken by the staff and moderators, so content in english can be checked and moderated whereas informations in other languages can't be.

I'm not a native english-speaker myself, but I don't consider the "english-only" to be discriminatory, especially considering the communities page that lists links to regional forums.

Scirra is aware that not everyone can speak english, but on the other hand, people have also to remember that Scirra is a small two-men company and that moderators are "volunteers".We don't have ressources to handle different languages for now.

It's planned that tutorials would someday be available in different languages, and the very fact that the C2 IDE is to be translatable in the long term is another display that the "issue" is being considered anyway.

Translate.google works quite well, if your english isn't great, translate first, then post in English. This ensures you don't get deleted as spam and that more people from all over the world can read and respond to you.

I understand the justifications and limitations on the translation, the reality of 6009 has translated some 2500 lines in a few hours and I think that this task can be done by one person, but I believe that when we do an activity like this in a collaborative way there other benefits.

My apologies to all if I did understand how a rude person, but consider this important discussion to include other people.

I'll wait for the moment to consider the possibility of having a space for discussions in other languages in this forum.

Just so you definitely know - we don't recommend you do translations, as the Preferences dialog says it's just for testing. This is because we may decide to change how the translation system works in future, and it would mean you have to re-do some or all of the translating.
